How to solve npm ERR! missing script: dev

Question

I have installed node.js. Next, I installed cnmp with command

npm install -g cnpm --registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org
cnpm install

when I tried command cnpm run dev there is a error:

npm ERR! path C:\Users\Harry\package.json
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\Harry\package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2018-08-03T02_48_22_663Z-debug.log

so I moved the package.json from C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cnpm to 'C:\Users\Harry\package.json' but I still got an error:

npm ERR! missing script: dev

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2018-08-03T02_51_46_194Z-debug.log

and I also tried methods of similar problems, such as edit the script in package.json, it still doesn't work.

After moving package.json, you will need to run cnpm install again — Phil

Did you check if your your package.json actually contains a scripts section with a dev command? — r0skar

"scripts": { "test": "npm run lint -- --fix && npm run test-local", "test-local": "egg-bin test", "lint": "eslint bin lib test/*.js", "ci": "npm run lint && npm run test", "autod": "autod" }, it doesn't contain dev in scripts — Harrymissu

Perhaps you are using the Vue CLI 3? If yes, there is no "dev" build script. Earlier versions of the Vue 2 boilerplate project had a "dev" script - but no longer.

Instead use the "serve" script and your Vue project will run as dev

npm run serve

See the scripts that are configured with Vue CLI 3 in the package.json file

"scripts": {
         "serve": "vue-cli-service serve",
         "build": "vue-cli-service build",
         "lint": "vue-cli-service lint"    },

Hope that solves your issue.
